What are the stock sway bar diameters? VIN is 6027

I've found one source saying 7/8 F and 3/4 R, and another saying .78 
for
both????


>>>Although they are metric, the measurements roughly approximate 7/8 
front, and 3/4 rear on US-market Panteras (including the GTS).  The 
larger "GTS" rear sway bar, measuring 7/8 (same as the front), was an 
option on European Panteras (mostly found on Euro GTS cars, hence the 
name), and all the Pantera vendors have tooled up to produce locally 
made copies.

Dollar for dollar, switching to a larger rear swaybar while leaving the 
front one alone, is probably the single best improvement you can make 
to a Pantera, IMHO.
